WORLD HOBBIT DAY

For the 75th Anniversary of the Hobbit, we're having a party! September 22nd @ 3pm, we'll have a kid's costume contest with drinks for all the Halflings who participate. Also at 3pm: Hobbit expert, Corey Olsen (author of "Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's 'the Hobbit'"), will be here *via Skype* to talk about the Hobbit, and do a Q&A with audience members! A Twitter & Facebook photo costume contest also starts RIGHT NOW for any and all (not just kids), and ends on Sept. 22nd. (Some employees are even getting into the spirit, and will be romping about the store as Hobbiton Ambassadors).

As for prizes, we'll have a copy or two of the Hobbit, journals, maybe some gift cards, and possibly even some Hobbity swag from the publishers.
